When acne affects us, it seems to be an insurmountable problem. Once it can be cured, acne scars and blemishes turn out to be much more problematic. They can look just as unsightly as acne, and their treatment is long and often ineffective. It turns out that the scars and discoloration that remain after an acne breakout can affect up to 90% of people who have struggled with the problem. Find out how you can get rid of acne scars and discoloration.
What to do about acne scars?
Acne scars appear, among other things, as a result of damage to the skin by eczema, excising it, puncturing it, or improper acne skin care. Then, even after the efflorescence has healed, the tissue that remains afterwards is permanently altered. In order to get rid of scars, one can turn to home remedies, drugstore preparations or cosmetic treatments that give the best results in reducing the visibility and removing scars. What treatments are recommended to remove eczema scars?
Laser scar removal
Laser scar removal right next to hyaluronic acid treatment is one of the two most effective and popular methods for treating acne scars. The treatment is performed using a head that emits a laser beam. The beam interacts with our skin, causes micro-damage and at the same time stimulates the skin to renew itself. The procedure is painless, as it is usually preceded by the application of an anesthetic to the skin to be treated.
Undercutting scars
Scar undercutting, although it is mostly used as an adjunct to other therapies such as those carried out with hyaluronic acid gives very spectacular results. If the scar is adhesion, i.e. there has been fusion of the scar with deeper tissues, undercutting can be effective. It is performed by gently puncturing the scar in the appropriate place. Thanks to this procedure, the scar, which was previously concave, has a chance to level with the rest of the epidermis. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so it is not painful for the patient.
Micro-needle mesotherapy
Micro-needle mesotherapy is a procedure that involves pricking the skin with small needles and then applying special products to the skin that target a specific problem. In the case of atrophic scars, which remain with us after a history of acne, the most common is hyaluronic acid or other substances to smooth, moisturize, firm and brighten the skin. We perform mesotherapy with a dermapen, which facilitates very precise puncturing of the skin and adjustment of the depth of needle insertion. Mesotherapy gives great results in combating hyperpigmentation and scars, and is one of the most commonly performed procedures in aesthetic medicine offices.
Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive procedure, is painless and does not require convalescence. It is performed using a head that is directed at the affected tissue. The head injects carbon dioxide under the skin, which, flowing through the tissue, facilitates the removal of toxins from the tissue, improves circulation and the level of skin smoothing. The treatment stimulates the skin to produce substances responsible for its elasticity and resilience. Due to the fact that blood circulates better in the tissues, there is also a reduction in the visibility of scars and discoloration. They gradually become the same color as the skin that surrounds them. Carboxytherapy is very powerful in regenerating and rejuvenating the skin, so the effects are visible from the first CO2 treatments. It will quickly get rid of not only scars and discoloration, but also cellulite.
Redermalization treatment
Redermalization is a great treatment to fight the first signs of skin aging, as well as scars and discoloration from acne. It is performed in the same way as needle mesotherapy – by puncturing the skin and injecting a special nourishing cocktail underneath the skin, which is designed to reduce the appearance of scars. The cocktail consists of sodium succinate and hyaluronic acid. As a result, it helps stimulate the skin's renewal, filling it out and deeply hydrating it.
Acid treatments
Acid treatments are plentiful, and which one you opt for depends on your preferences and the nature and extent of your scars. Before choosing the right treatment for you, you should consult your doctor. After discussing the patient's goals and problems, as well as inspecting the altered skin, the doctor will suggest an appropriate treatment. Among the treatments with acids for scars, for example, there are chemical peels. They give excellent results in combination with other treatment methods. They are made of substances that are designed to exfoliate dead skin, take care of its proper renewal and reduce the visibility of hyperpigmentation. Acids are an exceptionally good method because there are virtually no contraindications to their use.
Filling scars with nano fat
Nano fat scar filling involves taking fat tissue from an area where there is enough of it, processing it appropriately and transplanting it to the surface of the scar. With this procedure, the scar can be filled in and its visibility significantly reduced. The altered tissue then gets a stimulus to produce skin-regenerating substances. In the first days after the procedure, a slight swelling remains on the skin, and the tissue continues to regenerate for months to come. Filling scars with nano fat gives very good and fast results in the fight against acne scars.
Platelet-rich plasma treatment.
Platelet-rich plasma scar treatment produces excellent results because they use substances that are found in the patient's blood. This makes the treatment completely hypoallergenic and virtually risk-free. It begins with drawing the patient's blood, then filtering it and obtaining the appropriate preparation for administration. The procedure is very quick, simple and requires no convalescence. It guarantees surprising results in brightening the skin, filling it and improving the level of elasticity and firmness.
Conclusion
Acne scars may seem tough, but there are solutions that deliver real results. From laser treatments to micro-needling, each option targets scars for smoother, healthier skin. Procedures like carboxytherapy and nano fat filling work to reduce discoloration and regenerate tissue effectively. Choosing the right treatment means understanding your skin’s needs and talking to a specialist. The key is consistency and patience—scars fade with the right care. You don’t have to settle for them; modern methods make clear skin achievable for anyone willing to invest the time. Take control and start your journey toward scar-free confidence today.
